HSE ALL Stars 2010

Mckay was selected to play on the HSE A All Star team.  This meant a lot of extra practice and some tough games to end the football season.  McKay started as corner on defense and the running back on offense.   Playing on the A team the boys played in the large division, which meant they would be playing the best teams in the Indianapolis Metro area.  We ended up with an unlucky draw and played two of the toughest teams in our bracket.   We came very close to winning one of those teams, Warren.  The final score 12 to 8.  We played Warren on the Fishers High School football field under the lights.  It was a pretty cool experience for these 4th graders.  McKay had a great game and ran the ball so well.  We were so proud of him and so many people were amazed at how hard he ran with the ball.  We did get one win against Noblesville 26 to 6.    It was a heartbreaking end to the season as the boys were really starting to come together and McKay was learning so much.  Jason and I only went through a slight depression as football ended.  McKay he seemed to bounce back just fine.   Hopefully, McKay can take some of this knowledge, work hard in the off season, do some Summer camps and make the Knights ( a full time 6th grade travel team) next year.   Here are some photos of our last game against Pike.  It was a tough game.  Both teams played hard and were evenly matched until the last few minutes. McKay is #7.
